Marin Team Titanium frame 17.5" (1995) - SOLD

[wynne]

In accordance with our strict one-in-one-out bike policy (which is not unreasonable given our 11 bike, one house, no outside space set-up), having like Lloyd Grossman cogitated deliberated etc, I am forced to sell the above. I should make it clear, it's only the frame that I'm selling.

It's in perfect structural condition and very good cosmetic condition, just a small bit of heel rub on one of the chainstays, light cable rub here and there and a missing head badge (Mr Moretti of beer can fame stuck in its place the moment).

I just want to cover the cost of my new purchase so I'm after £275 plus UK recorded delivery. I would prefer if it could be collected, but i'm happy to post within the UK.

I can take some better pictures, but here is one for starters.

Thanks

:shock: Have you got Moretti beer in England????????????

Beautiful bike, too bad I'm after another project!

Here are a few close ups of the marin.

I've managed to build it up to around a 20lb bike without going super trick and having to sell the house.

- And yes we have MORETTI beer, though I am deeply disturbed by the way they have updated Mr Moretti on the label to make him look more like your execrable prime minister.

 

[wynne]

And a couple more....

 

[novekili]

No, Mr Moretti's nose is supposed to be red because of beer, not cocaine.

Exacrable is a perfect adjective, it's the fact that he's MY minister that deeply disturbs and upsets me! But an enormous quantity of Italians have voted him, and I will not accuse anyone of racism whenever the above mentioned adjective is extended to the whole population. Just count me out of them.

Your Marin is gorgeous tho...

 

[wynne]

You have my sympathy.

Mr Moretti has definitely been Berlusconi-ed. About 5 years ago he looked more hearty and now he looks like he's moved to the city and had plastic surgery. Next he'll have a cathedral in his head...

Can't tempt you to the Marin then....

 

[novekili]

No, I am very tempted, but a cx bike is on the way, and another one is out of question. Since I haven't my prime minister's ability with women or money (or both), I can't afford it! Ball****, it's even rare in 17 inches....

What's the seat tube length (center to top) and top tube length (center to center)?
The RC31 is 420 or 440mm?

 

[wynne]

The top tube is 585mm and the seat tube (c-t) is 485mm.

It's a 420mm Pace fork on there at the moment, but I have used it with an 80mm travel fork and it's handled perfectly.

I've reduced the price as I really need to sell the frame, though I'm reckoning it's a bad time of year for it...
